Wyndham Clark is putting on a clinic at Shinnecock Hills. Back-to-back rounds of six under sixty-four and one under sixty-nine have Clark breaking the thirty-six hole scoring record for a U.S. Open at this course, and he is absolutely in command heading into the weekend.
Speaking of commanding performances, Xander Schauffele is right there with him. The reigning major champion is doing what he does best at a U.S. Open — staying disciplined, staying patient, and quietly climbing the leaderboard. Another strong round two has Schauffele's name exactly where you'd expect it: near the top and very much in the conversation.
Shifting off the course, Major League Baseball is facing serious legal heat. The Department of Justice says the EEOC will investigate MLB for alleged religious discrimination, stemming from the San Francisco Giants' Pride Night caps controversy. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon sent a formal letter to commissioner Rob Manfred citing Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty-four, and this situation is far from over.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
